IT'S ELECTION DAY! IT'S ELECTION DAY! And I am in a great mood. Sure, I just drudged through a busy nine-hour shift, so I might be going a little mental, but just think of what could happen today! No, not this. Something more along the lines of:

* Mark Latham is our Prime Minister. Which means that John Howard is not our Prime Minister. Yippee!

* Not only is John Howard no longer PM, he's not even an MP after losing Bennelong thanks to Andrew Wilkie. Alriiight!

* Family First achieve nothing, except for causing voters to turn off the Liberal party in droves. Fuck yeah!

Just think about it. You'll feel so good. I'm crazy-happy at the moment. And I'm not gonna shake myself out of it until Kerry O'Brien tells me something different. Because it could happen... today! In a matter of hours, Australia could feel all party party party, and be immediately lifted out of a dark, stagnant mood, and go like "Man, I feel so great! What the hell were we thinking to deny ourselves a feeling as great as this? We should have done this years ago!" And, instead of people feeling a bit "oh well" or bitter and twisted tonight, they could feel "Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!" Anyway, this is my head space for the next thirty hours or so. I'm giddy like the best kind of drunk I've never been. Wheeeeeee!
